My Inner Human

I am a person who has learned many maladaptive ways to cope with the more challenging parts of life that I face. I know that countless times I have made poor decisions in how I have handled situations and often, as a result, I have suffered or my quality of life has suffered. These life lessons that are necessary to teach us how to live happy, stable and satisfying lives often are learned via hardship and struggle. In this my inaugural blog for Mental Health News Radio, I would like to share with you an amazing experience that I had yesterday. I think you are going to like it; I sure as heck am on cloud nine about it.

So, recently my partner and I moved into a new apartment. This is my first time ever moving in with a mate and I am happy to share that our home is one of harmony. As we live in the 21^st century, it was necessary to have the local cable and internet provider come and install our service. This process of dealing with such a monstrous bureaucracy is quite unpleasant for me. I don’t particularly need or appreciate the massive degree of pleasantries that are forced on me by the customer service representatives. I prefer to get to the point or the issue, resolve it and get on with my day. Therefore, before I am even able to express the crux of whatever it is I have called about, I start to feel agitated.  I have no doubt that some of you who are reading this know what I am talking about.
